RaveFinancial Times\"... a highly original and powerful graphic novel that works on many levels. There is Krug’s individual family story, which in turn exemplifies the wider story of ordinary life in Germany during the darkest moment in the country’s history and the decades that followed. On a broader level, the book is an unflinching examination of what we mean when we think of identity, of history and home ... In some ways this is all a familiar tale, one that has played out in various forms... But this is where the choice of the graphic form is so effective. The use of original material — from school reports and denazification forms to family photos and snippets of phone books — and powerful, sometimes playful drawings deliver a fresh and engaging perspective ... The result is a book that is as informative as a history and as touching as a novel.\
